Wolf XII: Final Fantasy Edition

Welcome to the Twelfth Edition of Wolf!

I am honored to be hosting this event for you all. Much planning and organization went into this, so I hope I am able to deliver a tremendous experience to you all. As always, here is the general Wolf information:

How to Sign Up

Simply post in this thread stating that you would like to participate. You will then be added to the list of players. I’m hoping to get approximately 25 players for this, so if you can, please spread the word and encourage others to join.

How to Play

Each participant will be assigned a character at random by me, and these will be sent via PM. These characters fall under three factions: Townies, Wolves, and Independent. During each Day Phase, players will vote to “lynch” one person. The Townies will seek to lynch the Wolves, the Wolves will seek to lynch Townies, and the Independent can choose whichever side he/she chooses. Certain characters, such as the Mayor or Alpha Wolf, have particular influence over the vote to lynch. The person who has accumulated the most votes by the end of the Day Phase will be lynched, and eliminated from the game. During each Night Phase, the Wolves will decide which player they would like to eliminate from the game. They must private message me their vote on who they wish to be killed during the Night Phase, and the person who accumulates the most votes will be killed. The Night Phase is also where certain characters with special “roles” may perform their abilities.

How to Win

Town – The Town will win when all of the Wolves have been eliminated from the game.

Wolves – The Wolves will win when they have successfully brought the number of Townies to the same number (or lower) than that of the Wolves.

Independent – The Independent must survive until either the Town or Wolves win. As such, they may share a victory with either side if they manage to stay alive.

Character Roles

Town Roles

Mayor – The Mayor has the advantage of their vote counting for two during lynches in Day Phases, and breaking ties in votes should there be any.

Redeemer – The Redeemer will kill one Wolf at random if targeted by the Wolves during the Night Phase. However, he too will die.

Seer – The Seer has the ability of discerning the character and role of one player per Night Phase, and they are free to choose which players to use it on.

Protector – The Protector is able to select one player to protect per Night Phase, including himself. However, they cannot protect the same player twice.

Avenger – The Avenger will have the Protector’s ability if the Protector dies.

Wolf Roles

Alpha Wolf – Similar to the Mayor, the Alpha Wolf has the advantage of their vote power doubling during both Day and Night Phases. However, unlike the Mayor, their vote only breaks ties during the Night Phase.

Silencer – During a Night Phase, the Silencer may select one player to use their ability on, and that player will be unable to communicate or vote during the next Day Phase. However, the Silencer may only use this ability three times, they cannot target the same player multiple times, and it cannot be used on consecutive Night Phases. In addition, the player who is unable to vote will not be affected by the inactive-kill rule in this scenario.

Instigator – The Instigator has the ability of forcing the Town to lynch two people during the following Day Phase (they must use the ability during the Night Phase). However, they can only use this ability once, and using this ability means that the Wolves will not be able to kill someone during the Night Phase that the ability is used.

Independent Role

Copycat – During any Night Phase in the game, the Copycat may choose a player whose role they wish to copy. If they have selected a normal townie or wolf, then nothing happens. If they successfully copied a special role, then they will assume that role for the remainder of the game. This ability may only be used once.

Rules

- All votes must be in bold. They will be disregarded otherwise.
- You must vote one per Day Phase [changing votes is acceptable]. Anyone who does not vote on either consecutive Day Phases, or who does not during three total Day Phases, will be inactive-killed. Simply posting does not constitute as a vote.
- As always, there is NO POSTING during the Night Phase.
- Do not post if you have died until the end of the game. Some of you have a habit of doing it, so I have to ask you to stop that here :P
- Role-claiming (the "art" of telling people that you have a specific role) is permitted, but use it at your own discretion.
- Do not share PMs that I have sent to you with others. Anyone found doing so will be banned from the game. This rule especially applies to the Seer. You can state that you're a particular role or that you "checked" a certain character, but you are not allowed to use my PMs as proof.
- All discussion will be done solely in this thread. Usage of PMs, MSN, or any external communication except for this thread is forbidden. Considering I cannot enforce this, I will reward players who PM me if another player breaks this rule and can prove it to me with something in-game. Those are caught breaking this rule will be penalized. If two people snitch on each other, they both will be penalized. These penalties can range from having your ability being revoked for a Day/Night Phase, to being silenced for a Day Phase, or being one Day Phase closer to being inactive-killed.
- In addition to the rule above, all Wolf communications will be done on a link that will be sent out via PM. You are not allowed to share this link with anyone. If you lose the link, PM me, and I will be happy to send it to you again.
- I'm a bit more lenient on flaming and trolling, and arguments/disagreements are the foundation of Wolf so they are acceptable, but if things get out of hand, I will have to intervene.
- Each Phase will last 24 hours, and begin at 7:00PM EST.
- If there are any other questions/concerns, feel free to V/PM me or hit me up on MSN.

Re: Wolf XII: Final Fantasy Edition

OMG just looking at the character list almost made me come~ The sheer awesomeness of the theme is already orgasmically epic.

Remember, people, NO EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION ALLOWED except among the Wolves. The Townies must do all the detective work and strategizing within the thread, which means, everyone must actively talk to gather evidence and such, so don't disappoint me. The last thing I want to see is people posting no more than a "I vote for Stranger A." post during a Day phase. I've been waiting for a real Mafia game for a while.

Re: Wolf XII: Final Fantasy Edition

We'll see Xey.

And yeah @animeyay , people like you, Butcher or me won't get to analyze much if there's not enough activity, so I am hoping for people to play a lot, although school is coming close for a lot of people.

Re: Wolf XII: Final Fantasy Edition

Thanks to everyone who has registered so far! I'm going camping this weekend so I will need someone to update the sign-up list while I'm gone. The sign-ups will remain open until we get 25 players, and the game won't start until I get back around Monday or Tuesday.

Bonus Challenge: Put your favorite Final Fantasy game's logo in your signature for the entirety of this game.
